There could be plenty more to come from George Boughey's BETTER who is selected to make light of a double-figure rise for last month's C&D success. The unexposed James Tate handicap newcomer Invincible Speed is a potentially dangerous opponent, while the draw could have been kinder to Zola Power but he's one who could easily have more to offer for new trainer Mick Appleby.
